Directed by Veerle Baetens
Produced by Savage Film, Flanders Image
A haunting, trauma-centered drama about a woman returning to confront the sexual violence and psychological devastation of her youth, told through a surreal, symbolically charged narrative.
Many years after a sweltering summer that spun out of control, Eva returns to the village she grew up in with an ice block in the back of her car. In the dead of winter, she confronts her past and faces up to her tormentors.
